提防商界“拿破仑”

正拿破仑·波拿巴曾说过,"权力是我的情妇,我绝不容许任何人请走她。"大多数企业还没有完全认识到,当一群"拿破仑"聚在一起工作的时候,会如何风起云涌?过去的二十年里,众多研究都集中于权力对人的影响。简而言之,权力会改变一个人。人一旦爬到公司或其他组织的高层,往往就会一切以自己的目标和欲望出发,不考虑别人的看法,不顾及他人     

Class length and student performance: An extended study

Many accounting educators believe that the student learning of accounting is better facilitated over a longer period of time, rather than a shorter period of time. This study examined the results of student performance in two introductory accounting courses, comparing student performance results of four-week summer classes with the results of traditional 16-week courses. In this research, the same professor taught the spring and summer ACC 201 courses, and two other professors taught both the spring and summer ACC 211 courses. Also held constant were the lecture material, course assignment, and test content. The results of the study indicate that in general, students taking introductory accounting over four weeks fare about as well as students who take introductory accounting over a traditional 16-week period. These results have potential importance beyond accounting education and provide support to universities offering more block courses to better serve individual student needs.     

More than imagination: Making social and critical accounting real

We offer a critical consideration of the roles of cognitive dissonance, imagination, and critical thinking in accounting education, suggesting that all three are important elements of critical and emancipatory accounting education, but that they must be set within a context that is rooted in the “real lives” of students and teachers alike, seeking to both understand the world and to challenge it.
